KALOGERIS IN SLATE

George Kalogeris' first book Camus: Carnets (published by Bill Corbett's Pressed Wafer Press here in Boston) exemplifies the positive qualities of Quietude, and for many of us was a touchstone publication when it came out a few years ago. Slate magazine ran his new poem "Odysseus Seeing Laertes" last week. An interesting debate plays out in the discussion thread following the poem, between those who think the poem's allusion to ancient literature helps, and those feel it obfuscates.
